Blogs may smooth ups, downs of breast cancer: study
Results from a study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology suggest that creating a personal website, or blog, may help women with breast cancer to battle depression symptoms.
While having an outlet during a difficult time is thought to be therapeutic, this is the first randomized clinical trial to assess the actual benefit, wrote researchers from the University of California Los Angeles.
100 women—recruited from BreastLink, a network of cancer centers—were split into two groups. Half were enrolled in a workshop which gave them hands-on instruction in creating a site with WordPress. The other half were told they were wait-listed for the workshop. The women were assessed before they were randomized and six months after they split.
Six months in, the blogger group showed "significant benefit" in their depressive symptoms, life appreciation and a more positive mood, researchers said. However, there was no reported difference on the perceived strength of their relationships, the impact of negative moods or "intrusive thoughts." The biggest change in mood was observed in patients currently undergoing therapy—compared to those who had completed treatment.
The study's lead author, Anette Stanton of UCLA, told Reuters Health that the websites were helpful for women to "be able to truly tell their story, express emotions and communicate with others without having to repeat information about their diagnosis and treatment."
Results were "encouraging," said co-author James Waisman, as reported by Reuters, adding that "it's a small sample size and...needs to be confirmed and reproduced."
The National Cancer Institute estimates that as many as a quarter of cancer patients suffer from depression.

"If you have any symptoms of a stroke, it is best to call 911 and get to the emergency room as soon as possible," said stroke survivor Priscilla Johnson.
While enjoying her day running errands, Priscilla stopped to get a pedicure. The pedicurist noticed something wasn't quite right and called 911. Priscilla was having a stroke. She was not able to talk or move her right side. She was rushed to the emergency room at Wake Forest Baptist Health where they were able to administer the clot busting drug – which saved Priscilla's life.
Within hours of having a stroke, Priscilla regained consciousness and feeling back on her right side and was back to her normal self. The stroke center at Wake Forest Baptist Health has five board-certified stroke specialists and is available 24-7 for emergency stroke patients.

La Pine tenant issued DEQ fine for burning prohibited material
by Bend Weekly News Sources
LA PINE, Ore. – A La Pine woman has been issued a $1,551 penalty by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for allegedly allowing the open burning of prohibited materials on property she rented at 15959 Jack Pine Loop Muller in the Deschutes County community.
The tenant, Patricia Sue Wishon, has appealed the penalty.
On Oct. 28, 2008, DEQ staff observed dark smoke that smelled like burning plastic rising about 300 to 400 feet into the air from the property. The materials that were openly burning included the contents of a demolished mobile home, several mattresses and some plastic tarps. DEQ staff also observed an individual throwing paneling onto the fire.
Toxic chemical exposure can result from the substances found in the materials burned by Wishon on the property. The dense and noxious smoke plumes they emit create a nuisance and pose a threat to the environment and public health, particularly the young, elderly and those with respiratory conditions.
The burning of any material that produces dense smoke and noxious odors is prohibited anywhere in Oregon. In addition to localized effects, each illegal open burn contributes to the cumulative amount of pollution in the atmosphere.

CNET News Video
Tech minute: Web sites to help you keep calm and carry on during the holidaysThe holiday season is inherently busy with crowded shopping malls, a frenetic social calendar and the stress of visiting family. In this Tech Minute, CNET's Kara Tsuboi reports on some simple high-tech ways of slowing down and chilling out.
-Research has proven that spending time in nature or even looking at photos of nature can lower our stress levels. If that's the case and if it works for you, then check out calm.com. The website gives you a choice of several nature settings to look at and offers 2 or 10 minute meditation sessions with or without a guided sound track to listen to. Similar, but sillier is the website calmingmanatee.com. Manatees are docile marine mammals that someone thought would soothe the nerves. Some amenity and you're treated to a large colorful nature photo with a reassuring directive like keep your head up or I still believe in you. Maybe these sites work for you. Maybe they don't, but since they're both pretty used, they're a whole lot cheaper than a therapy session. In San Francisco, I'm Kara Tsuboi, cnet.com for CBS News.

Many organizations be glad about scholarships through the local school methods. This is a way for a company to inspire scholars to look at topics relevant to that organizations business. a few of these scholarships are free however others have a stipulation of working for that particular business upon a hit of entirety of experiences. This is a type of student mortgage, as you need to pay off it by working off the debt.

Mannino comes up with 45 saves as Monarchs defeat ProvidenceBy IAN CLARK
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 19. 2013 10:58PM
MANCHESTER - Goaltender Peter Mannino made 45 saves to lead the Manchester Monarchs past Providence 3-1 in front of a sellout crowd of 9,862 at Verizon Wireless Arena on "Los Angeles Kings Night" Saturday.
Manchester won for the second night in a row and improved to 19-17-4 for 42 points to jump over Providence (19-15-3, 41) in the Atlantic Division standings and into a tie for second place with Worcester (19-17-4, 42).
The Monarchs go for a clean sweep of the weekend when they host first-place Portland (24-14-2, 50) today at 3 p.m.
"It was a great bounce-back game for Peter Mannino," Monarchs head coach Mark Morris said. "I was happy for him, especially in front of a crowd like that. I know he wanted to play well."
Mannino felt he had something to prove after being pulled after allowing three goals in the first period of a 7-5 loss to Springfield Tuesday.
"The last game, I did get pulled so there was a little bit of momentum that comes from that and Providence has had a couple wins against me the last few times I've played them," Mannino said. "It was one of those that you wanted to get under your belt. We really need these wins right now as a team and that's the most important thing."
The Bruins spoiled Mannino's shutout bid with just 1:07 remaining in the game. Off a faceoff win, Carter Camper sent the puck across to the right side for a one-timer by Jamie Tardif to make it a 2-1 game.
But Monarchs forward Stefan Legein scored an empty net goal at 19:21 to put the game away and reward Mannino for his strong effort, which also saw Manchester kill eight Bruins power plays.
"I thought our penalty kill was pretty effective for the most part. The compete level had to be high," Morris said. "I thought that our killers did a great job and (Providence) certainly had every opportunity to capitalize, but somehow we were able to deny them and withstand their push."
The Monarchs took a 1-0 lead at 3:55 of the second period. Defenseman David Kolomatis stole the puck at the Providence blue line and skated in on the right side, letting a wrist shot go from the low circle that goalie Michael Hutchinson got a piece of, but the puck trickled inside the far post for Kolomatis' fourth of the season.
Manchester went up 2-0 at 6:04 on another steal, this time from Brandon Kozun, who skated into the Bruins end with David Meckler on a two-on-one. Kozun fired a wrist shot from the right to beat Hutchinson.
Mannino kept the Monarchs on top with some stellar saves in the second, stopping 18 shots in that period alone. Perhaps the best came with 40 seconds remaining and the Bruins on the power play. Ryan Spooner had a wide open net from the doorstep and tried to slide it low, but Mannino got his left arm on it.
"It did (give the guys a boost)," Morris said of Mannino's strong second period. "Any time you can weather the storm it kind of gives you new life."
The first period was scoreless, with the Bruins having a goal disallowed and Manchester missing a breakaway chance. Providence appeared to take a 1-0 lead at 10:57 on the power play, but the net was ruled to have come off its moorings.

The Caledon Square Group is concerned, deeply concerned, about the strategies put in place by the City of Cape Town over the decision made by the Cape High Court concerning the Premier of the Western Cape's application to open and accommodate refugees temporarily in all civic centres around the city.
How can you respond to the xenophobia crisis?
The Treatment Action Campaign invites you to come to a workshop explaining how you can take action against xenophobia. It will take place on Monday 16th June 2:30 - 4:30.
My theme is: Human Rights – do we believe in them and what if we do? My name is Mark Heywood. I am one of the leaders of the Treatment Action Campaign and the Deputy Chairperson of the SA National AIDS Council.
At about 1am in the morning on 10 June, the Cape High Court ordered the City of Cape Town to make available community halls to temporarily settle "displaced foreigners". The interdict was obtained by the Premier of the Western Cape. The TAC wrote a supporting affidavit.
Gregg Gonsalves of ARASA has delivered a hard-hitting speech at UNGASS, rebutting the arguments of conservative public health officials who claim that over-expenditure on AIDS ignores other developing world health needs.
A tragedy is unfolding as people who fled xenophobic terror now face the uncaring machinery of the state. Most camps and shelters in which displaced people are staying fall below international humanitarian standards.
On the evening of 23 May, about 150 people displaced by xenophobic violence gathered outside Caledon Square, Cape Town's main police station. They have two demands: (1) they need shelter and protection in the CBD area (or surrounding suburbs) and (2) they want the United Nations to assist most of them to return to their home country or repatriate to a third country.
For four nights they stayed at Herzlia Weizmann School before funding was raised to shelter them for a week. As of Sunday evening 8 June it is not clear where the Caledon Square displaced people will beable to stay. Premier Rasool and Mayor Zille have not given any indication of how they will help them.


text: Charles Jourdan was born in 1883 in France. In 1919, he began a shoe shop in Romans, in the Drome region of France. His business prospered, particularly in the sales of womens shoes. In the 1930's, Charles Jourdan was the first shoe designer to advertise in fashion magazines.After World War II, Jourdan was joined by his 3 sons Rene, Charles and Roland and in 1957, they opened a boutique in Paris. In 1959, the house of DIOR granted the company a licence to design and manufacture Dior shoes. Jourdan's designs are up-to-the-minute. In the 60's and early 70's, the firm created an avant-garde image for itself by using the surrealist photographer Guy Bourdin for its advertising campaign. During this period the company sold vast quantities of two notable Styles, the 'Madly' a thick-heeled platform shoe with a high vamp, in red or black patent leather, and the 'Maxime' a low-heeled square-toed court shoe with a satin bow. Charles Jourdan died in 1976, but his sons continued the firm. Building on his father's tailored style, Roland Jourdan took the basic pump shape, elongated the toe and saddled it with the simplest of buckles. Roland Jourdan retired in 1981. Jourdan now make Pierre CARDIN shoes among others. During the 80's and 90's, they have been associated with a more conservative look although sometimes they create a powerful design. In 1996, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the house of Charles Jourdan, they brought out a perfume named ""Stiletto"" in a bottle shaped like the Eiffel Tower.

Two hit-and-runs: Why reduced charges for one?EDITORIAL
November 07. 2013 11:04PM
If you injure someone in a motor vehicle accident, leave the scene, and do not report the accident to the police, you have committed a crime called "conduct after an accident," better known as "hit and run." The state statute governing penalties for this crime states that anyone who commits it "shall be guilty of a class B felony." The sentence ends right there. We checked the statute, and nowhere did we find the phrase "unless a police officer, in which case the person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."
New Hampshire has seen two particularly high-profile hit and run cases this year. One of the accused is being charged with a felony, the other with a misdemeanor. Guess which one was a career police officer?
On March 22, someone hit two Bedford teenagers who were walking on a dark residential street, running over one of them, according to that victim's father. The driver left the scene. Bedford Police linked the vehicle, an unmarked Manchester police cruiser, to then-Manchester Police Sgt. Stephen Coco. He was arrested on two counts of conduct after an accident. They say he was looking at something on his cell phone, struck the teens, and drove off.
Sullivan County Attorney Marc Hathaway is prosecuting the case because it involved a Manchester officer. In September, he dropped the felony charges to misdemeanors. But he will not say why. The move is "part of a prosecution strategy. It would be unprofessional for me to say anything more at this time," he said in September.
Last Saturday, Keon E. Ioannou, a well-known Keene restaurateur, was killed in a hit-and-run. Police arrested Tracy A. Burroughs, 41, of Keene, who shared an address with the victim. She was charged with felony conduct after an accident.
Conduct after an accident is a felony regardless of the severity of the victim's injuries. Any accident resulting in "death or personal injury" is a felony under the law. So why is Coco facing misdemeanor charges while Burroughs faces a felony charge? Hathaway needs to provide an answer.

From the novice to the expert geocacher Geotees aims to offer reasonably priced Geocaching supplies and other related items to the Geocaching community.We have a wide range of products to suit your geocaching needs, we are at present the only uk geocaching retailer to offer a geocoin/travel tag production service, any geocacher with an idea for a trackable can have it brought to life.
It is a hobby/pastime with many similarties to letterboxing. The main differences are that the clues are given as GPS coordinates, and geocachers use the 'take an item, leave an item' system when finding a cache, instead of stamping it.
Geotees was established in April 2008 by two friends who where and still are experienced cachers, who looked around and were slightly disillusioned about the provision and cost of Geocaching related items at that time. They realised that they could offer objects for sale for cheaper prices than what was currently around. Always keeping cost in mind and with a lot of hard work our product range has grown to be quite comprehensive and should meet the needs of any level of geocacher from novice to the very experienced. We are a Official Groudspeak retailer stocking and selling Geocaching.com merhandise a wide range of off the peg and custom made geocaching products
Our UK Geocacher range of products includes baseball caps, mugs and tshirts that can be opionally personalised with your geocaching team name or with the name of an event.
We are not taking any further orders at this time

Writer - Actor - Comedian
Welcome, Chum
Hey thanks for checking out my site. Heres the deal with me:
In 1975, the movie Jaws came out and I became obsessed with it. I drew about a hundred pictures of Great White sharks. Being in kindergarten, this was an odd thing. Nevertheless, Jaws is why I got into movies. Its why I act. Its why I ended up in this completely carnivorous industry.
Because of Jaws, I fell in love with blood and guts. Even at that age, I knew this was weird. I didnt care. Blood and guts led me to horror movies. So I stayed up late and watched everything HBO put on. Including Nunzio, which wasnt so much a horror movie as it was a movie about a charming retard. Anyway, in 1979, I saw The Brood. Those little monsters stole weeks of sleep from me. I was sold: Horror was the shit. That revelation led me to Stephen King. Stephen King is the reason I started writing.
Then I got older and wanted to be cool. I discovered Bruce Lee, took tae kwon do, wore acid-wash jeans. An engraved vanity plate on my Mercury Zephyr let people know I was the Italian Stallion. Clearly, this was when, unbeknownst to me, my knack for comedy was born.
Sometime later, Peckinpah films showed up at my doorstep. Suddenly, blood, guts, and being cool all got rolled into one. Everything came full circle. I loved the guys Sam put in his movies - Oates, especially. The Pat Garrett poster is on my wall, hanging over my head right now. Theres a line in it I live by. Mainly because its true, but also because James Coburn sounds so fucking badass when he growls it. If you ever see the movie, youll know what Im talking about.
So those movies are the trifecta, the biggies for me. I figure if youre
here, youre interested. But maybe youre just here for the resume,
in which case:
Enjoy the site. You wont need a bigger boat.

Another new great Custom Replacement from Crazyparts...
Grained Ivoroid P90* Cover (Std. 50mm Spacing) polished.
These Covers are "Made in Germany" like all our Customparts, which guarantees you highest quality!!!
We offer Polished and Natural sanded covers, all coves made of finest woods available...
In case of the new Worldwide CITES regulation, we are not able to selling Parts made of ROSEWOOD Species out of EUROPE longer!
Please contact your local dealer if you wanna purchase those parts. We are currently looking for dealers or Distributors out of Europe!
Currently we are looking for a distributor or dealers which are interested in selling our Wood Parts in USA/CANADA/JAPAN/RUSSIA
A new regulation takes effect on January 2, 2017 that calls for documentation when shipping instruments and parts internationally that contain any amount of any kind of rosewood or certain types of bubinga.
The New Regulation on Rosewood and Bubinga
The Convention of International Trade of Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES) held a conference from September 24 - October 4 this year in Johannesburg, South Africa where it was decided that all species of rosewood under the genus Dalbergia and three bubinga species (Guibourtia demeusei, Guibourtia pellegriniana, and Guibourtia tessmannii) will be protected under CITES Appendix II.
While Brazilian Rosewood is currently under CITES protection (those laws will stay in place), this move places all the other nearly 300 species of rosewood under similar regulation.
This includes the East Indian rosewood and Honduran rosewood - as well as woods like cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa) and African blackwood (Dalbergia melanoxylon) - that are widely used in the manufacturing of stringed instruments, marimbas and some woodwinds.
What This Means
For manufacturers:
When importing any species of Dalbergia or the other woods mentioned, there must be an accompanying CITES certificate from the country it came from if it arrives after January 2, 2017.
Manufacturers who currently have stockpiles of the newly regulated wood must document their inventory and apply for pre-convention certificates.
For dealers and sellers:
When shipping musical instruments that include any amount (i.e. fingerboard, back, sides, binding) of Dalbergia or the other newly regulated woods out of your country as part of a commercial transaction, each one must be accompanied by a CITES re-export certificate.
Even if the instrument was made with Dalbergia or the other regulated woods that were acquired before January 2, 2017 - such as a used or vintage instrument - it still must be accompanied by a CITES certificate and marked pre-convention when shipping internationally.
Each country has its own CITES Management Authority. If you live outside the United States, you can look up the CITES contact in your country here.

According to a report from research firm DeepField Networks, Amazon's AWS cloud now powers 1% of the internet. If this number is anywhere close to accurate, it's a stunning figure, particularly when one considers that Amazon started as an online retailer of books.
But Amazon's cloud ambitions are huge, and in an effort to grow its cloud even more, Amazon today launched the AWS Marketplace, a one-stop shop for AWS customers to, with a single click, purchase and deploy cloud servers running the software they need.
The goal: "[make] it easy for customers to find, compare, and immediately start using the software and technical services they need to build products and run their businesses." Software providers include giants like IBM, Microsoft and SAP, as well as upstarts like 10gen and Couchbase. Through the AWS Marketplace, AWS users can easily provision EC2 servers running various types of software. This includes individual databases and applications, but also entire application stacks.
"AWS Marketplace makes it even easier to run software on AWS because you can find a wide variety of AWS ecosystem providers' solutions, in one place, where much of the work involved in building and deploying solutions on top of AWS has already been done for you by these solutions providers," Terry Hanold, VP of New Business Initiatives for AWS, stated in a press release.
As with all Amazon AWS servers, customers pay only for what they use on an hourly basis, although some software available through the AWS Marketplace has a base monthly charge. Some prices are all-inclusive (they include the fee for the software as well as the EC2 instance itself), while others break out the cost of the software separately.
Not surprisingly, in an effort to make the AWS Marketplace more appealing to AWS customers, Amazon is trying to attract software vendors to the AWS Marketplace, something that probably won't be all that difficult. One Accenture analyst recently estimated that there are some 445,000 servers in Amazon's AWS datacenters, making Amazon's cloud a juicy target for software vendors looking to hawk their wares.
Of course, this doesn't mean that there won't be challenges. For Amazon and its customers, the ever-increasing breadth and depth of AWS could be a double-edged sword, as that breadth and depth could very well be overwhelming to some organizations considering the cloud. For some software vendors, the Amazon Marketplace creates a barrier between them and their customers. That creates some pragmatic issues around customer support, for instance, but it also raises some major strategic concerns. After all, for many software vendors, a direct relationship is crucial to closing a sale, making sure the customer is satisfied and establishing some level of loyalty.
With this in mind, if Amazon's history with book publishers is any indication, the AWS Marketplace could prove to be a boon for Amazon but a disappointment for at least some software vendors.

HUDSON � With slightly more than�half of survey respondents believing Hudson has a blight problem, a local committee�Thursday night decided a stand-alone bylaw to fix the issue is unnecessary.
Instead of drafting a new blight bylaw, committee members plan to investigate potentially amending existing town bylaws to address abandoned buildings that are blighted and ensure that blight does not create safety hazards.
A recent online survey completed by 850 residents found 52 percent think the town has a blight problem, while 25 percent say otherwise.�Twenty percent of respondents were unsure, according to the survey results. Many�respondents expressed concerns about abandoned buildings and the�potential safety hazards blight pose.
While discussing the survey results Thursday night, a consensus of the committee said that the results of the 14-question survey point toward residents wanting the issue to be addressed somehow, but not necessarily with a stand-alone bylaw.
"It wasn�t overwhelming in either way," said committee member Linda Shea.
Sam Calandra, chairman of the committee, agreed, saying the results showed there is not a consensus among residents to bring a bylaw before a future Town Meeting, but there is a need to address some issues, such as safety and blighted abandoned buildings.
"I definitely think we should do something," he said.
Committee members Kristin Lembo, Nick Reinshagen and Jill Schafer also spoke in favor of looking at tweaking the town�s existing bylaws.
Others on the committee, including Jim Grillo, Mary Egan and Lee Murphy, felt the survey results pointed toward support for a bylaw.
"I do think there is a need," said Murphy.
Eagan said the number of survey respondents who believe the town has a blight problem is double what the amount of residents who do not believe blight is an issue.
Grillo, who has unsuccessfully petitioned Town Meeting to enact a bylaw several times in the past, agreed with Egan. Pointing toward a property on Main Street where lawnmowers, a Dumpster and other items are stored in a front yeard, Grillo urged selectmen to enact a bylaw this summer.
Caladra will present the committee�s findings and its recommendation to selectmen in the coming weeks.

Grateful Dead
Les Claypool anyone?
Les has some pretty out there stuff. I will mention , having seen him numerous times, that he is an awesome bass player- Awesome. The second thing I'll mention is the performance he did of Pink Floyd's Animals. I'm a huge, Floyd fan, and totally am a bit snobby to anyone trying to play their stuff. However, my favroite Floyd album was done so well by Les, so powerful, so dark, just blew me away. He stays respectfully true to what Animals is all about, but also adds a bit of his flavor to most of the musical work (listen to the bass freakout in Sheep). This is a cd to get, or some music to beg borrow or steal.
i remember (vaguely, of course) les opening for phil at the greek ... i'd heard some of the claypool/primus stuff before and was really excited to see two of my fave bassists on the same stage ... sadly most of the tie-dyed crowd paid little if any attnetion to les (with guest appearance form buckethead) ... too bad because these guys can really lay it down ...
The Primus DVD "Hallucino-Genetics Live 2004" is excellent. If anyone not familiar with Les wants to get a good vibe about what's up with him, I'd suggest this as a good starting point. Personally I didn't care for The Frog Brigade but Les' incarnations are like the weather here on the east coast - if you don't like it, wait ten minutes and something different will emerge.
"If the forms of this world die, which is more real, the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind, or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?"
... but I like him anyway. When Primus was in its heyday, the fanbase was teenage boys and I was pushing 50. I know little of that culture except that I've gleaned along the way that "Primus sucks!" means anything but.
But one time when I was working the Bammies (and, as I recall, vaguely charged earlier in the evening with hustling Primus and Buckethead, about all of whom I was and am pretty clueless, from Point A to Point B) I happened to wander out to the front of the stage when they were playing. Les was in full maniacal rant, the band was really hot, and I was like "Holy bleep!"
Not that this got me on the Primus bus, but it made me real happy when Les opened for Phil at the Greek, an occasion on which the crowd seemed equally divided between love and hate as to what he was up to. I was definitely in the love camp, even though the music is on the weird end of my tastes. Subsequently I picked up a couple live albums (they're around here someplace, having to do with the Frog Brigade or some such), which have cryptic song titles and some incredible jams.
So anyway, I figure if I post this topic someone with a clue might come along and explain it all.

Taken from the news columns of area newspapers.
New dugouts are being built at the old ballpark
COZAD—The words "Play Ball" will very soon be heard at Stuckey Park in Northwest Cozad, thanks to a pair of young men, Trevor Donahey and Kolton Morse. The boys are working towards the pinnacle of Boy Scouts, the Eagle Scout Award, and ball players will get to enjoy the friendly confines of a new dugouts. To achieve the award there are many requirements, and with the assistance of the City of Cozad, Paulsen, Inc. and other volunteers, the boys look to have the service project of new dugouts completed prior to the 2013 season of baseball.—reported in the Tri-City Trib.
Brazilian educators impressed with Bow
BROKEN BOW—A team of four elementary teachers from Brazil, along with a team leader from that district's Rotary International club, recently visited Broken Bow as part of a Rotary exchange program. It was the first time any of the teachers had visited the United States, and all said they were very impressed with our country's educational system and the way children are valued. Besides the schools, members also toured the hospital, the Custer County Chief office and the wind farm, stating they were impressed with the technology. They stayed with host families while visiting Broken Bow and enjoying their American experience.—reported in the Custer County Chief.
Large populations of pelicans are stopping by
OGALLALA—Humphreys Pond is living up to the hopes of Optimist Club members, as not only people utilize the pond for outdoor activities, but wildlife has taken up residency, even if only temporarily, on the water in the man-made pond. In recent weeks, a population of pelicans has been sharing the water with a gaggle of geese. According to Nebraska Game & Parks Wildlife biologist T.J. Walker of North Platte, "the population has been much larger this year and they seem to be hanging out more."—reported in the Keith County News.
Recovery slow after horse-car accident
CURTIS—Kris Huckman of Curtis is recovering from injuries when he struck a horse 17 miles south of North Platte on Highway 83. Huckman was on his way to work when he approached the top of the hill where the horse was standing in the middle of his lane. There was no way he could have avoided the accident. He was transported to the hospital in North Platte and later life flighted to Lincoln where he was treated for a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a type of stroke caused by bleeding in and around the brain. Although he was able to return home, he is still recovering and not able to return to work until June. Huckman is a father of four kids and has been married to Nikki for 10 years. A benefit to help with expenses is being planned.—reported in the Frontier County Enterprise. AIM
Institute honors School House Graphics
ARNOLD—Arnold High School's School House Graphic Products (SHGP) was recently honored as the High School Intern Program of the Year at the AIM Institute's 2013 Technology Celebration Awards at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha. Instructors Clay and Julie Mohr were notified that the program had been selected fro the prestigious award, which were nominated by members of the Nebraska State Chamber. Before the awards ceremony, the AIM Institute sent a videographer to Arnold to videotape and interview the 17 students as they worked.—reported in the Arnold Sentinel.
Hobbiest gets a handful of lambs
CALLAWAY—A surprising spring crop resulted for a sheep hobbiest of Oconto, Dean Amm. He recently took up the hobby, after a long absence when he retired, and one of his ewes gave birth to quintuplets born April 14, and all five survived. In fact, two others in his flock of six had triplets while another had yet to give birth. Amm had recently got back into the sheep buying with some old ewes and putting a buck in with them, that has resulted in the surprising crop. He is not in the business for profit but just enjoys bring new life into the world.—reported in the Callaway Courier.

A play borrowed from the Silver Linings book
As marketers, it is necessary to keep in mind that every drug, device, and program we promote can benefit people who need our help.
The marketing of drugs, medical devices, and other healthcare-related items can become technical. And though the technicalities are important, it can become easy to forget that the whole industry exists for one reason—to help people.
You've probably heard about or may have seen Silver Linings Playbook. The critically acclaimed film is packed with A-list stars and boasts multiple Academy Awards, including Jennifer Lawrence's win for Best Actress.
But this film is more than a Hollywood blockbuster. The film aspires to educate the uneducated and convert ways of thinking—something that should hit close to home for the marketing industry.
In the movie, director David O. Russell portrays mental illness not as something to fear or to be scornful of, but rather as a struggle that touches the lives of many more people than one might realize. Mental illness doesn't need to be hidden from the world, and it certainly cannot be generalized, with all variations lumped into one stereotype.
Though the movie is a romantic comedy, its story exposes the vulnerability of genuine characters whose illnesses are more nuanced than the often stereotyped illnesses portrayed in similar films and understood by society. The movie presents a reality that many people never experience. But the fact remains that many people do experience these realities.
Silver Linings Playbook speaks specifically to the raw and extremely present nature of mental health disorders, but the idea is universal.
Any drug, medical device, therapy, or program we promote is equally as unique and important.
From the most rare of orphan diseases to the most common of illnesses—each deserves our attention, awareness, and acceptance.
Patient, professional, branded, and unbranded campaigns all set out to provide education and the potential for behavioral change. And the best marketers probably feel this same sense of purpose—in trying to reach real people who are faced with a real struggle.
The point is this: though patients may be anonymous to us, they are not anonymous.
This notion should be a driving force, an inspiration for everything we do. Awareness resources should strive to expedite a proper diagnosis. Sales aids should inspire a new prescribing option for a physician.
Any material produced and every effort executed has the ability to change somebody's life, even if it's just a little bit.
The healthcare marketing industry has a special opportunity—to be able to provide both the medical world and the general public with a new option, the right answer, or some help for (even if only seemingly) insurmountable patient obstacles.
A story like Silver Linings Playbook can put the work of the healthcare industry into a different perspective—perhaps in a way that can even refocus marketing strategy.
Most importantly, it can teach us all something about the work we do and the people it might touch.

Hiding sin keeps us in our own bondage. It's time to step into the light.
Training our brains to battle anxiety through minor troubles develops emotional stamina to endure harder times.
Planning ahead is good, but things don't always go as planned.
Will a woman's education and job experience help or hinder her future marriage?
When you are young and relatively carefree, how should you view the money you earn?
If you don't know what your gifts are, maybe the best question to ask yourself is, 'How can I love those around me?'
For those who are beginning their careers, here are four key principles for on-the-job success.
Yes, marriage is one way God matures us. But it is not the only way.
Women tend to feel the struggle of untangling the modern conflicts of life, love and labor most keenly, but ultimately this issue affects the whole family.
Indirect communication fuels the frustration many singles have with the opposite sex.
How to be considered faithful and righteous in cyberspace
Is it possible to "keep your heart with all vigilance" when it comes to our entertainment choices?
Difficult times simply reveal what's taken root in our heart. When pressed, we either ooze the fruit of the Spirit or the fruit of sin.
How you respond when a guy asks you out affects him more than you might think.
Mary Magdalene did. And as we understand our role in the crucifixion of Christ, we will too.
Elevating the dignity of women is not a new idea. But because men have too often been identified as the problem, the gender war has never been fully resolved.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Matchmakers are so 20th century. It's time for something new.
Gotta fear somebody. Would that be man or God?
Gangstas, out-of-wedlock pregnancy, sugar packets — ah, the things that come up in mentoring relationships.
In the mommy wars, every believing woman needs to enlist.
When situations seem unfair or even disastrous, we can only swallow the injustice and bitterness if we focus on the unflinching promise that our times are in His hands.
God knows, Christmas can be a very difficult time of year.
Your friends' relationships are moving along nicely and you're still painfully single. Even in the midst of such unfulfilled desire it is possible to be thankful.
When is it all right to date someone who isn't a Christian?
Christian authors Joshua Harris and Carolyn McCulley speak of the centrality of being involved with a church.

- convene and network with like-minded peers from different industries
- exchange experiences
- compare benchmark efforts
- explore the latest best practice
- discuss strategies
- learn from others who face the same challenges with suppliers, technologies and techniques.
In a personal and confidential setting (It's Chatham House Rules so what's said at Digital Cream, stays at Digital Cream), the roundtable format is a quick and sure-fire way to find out what's worked and what hasn't, an invaluable opportunity to take time out and come back to the office full of ideas.
Roundtable Format
There are 8 roundtable topics and each delegate chooses 3 table topics most relevant to you, each session lasting about an hour and fifteen minutes. Each roundtable is independently moderated and focuses on a particular topic discussing challenges or areas of interest nominated by the table's attendees in the time available. This level of input ensures you get the maximum from your day.
Digital Cream has been devised by the analysts and editors at Econsultancy in consultation with the most senior digital buyers in the world and runs in London, New York, Melbourne, Sydney, Shanghai, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Attendees pick three tables choices from the following full list of topics offered (extra topics will be removed at a later stage. If there is a topic you'd like to discuss which is not listed here, you can suggest it while registering):
1. Marketing Attribution Management
2. Content Marketing Strategy
3. Cross Channel Marketing
4. Customer Experience Management
5. Digital Transformation - people, process and technology
6. Online Advertising - re-targeting, exchanges and social advertising
7. Ecommerce & onsite conversion rate optimisation
8. Data Driven Marketing - making big data actionable

I was in Boston this weekend visiting my sister, so didn't have a chance to reprise my Irene prep post or any of the other approximately two billion (ok, maybe a slight exaggeration) posts I've made over the years about how to prepare for a natural disaster, but I'm still getting emails from people in the dark or by the water talking about how their preps fared, and how they are doing. It is one of the most rewarding things about what I do – hearing that others are warm, fed and safe in part because they took my advice. For us, it was a matter of putting our preps into place and then nothing happening – which is a natural and expected part of preparedness – even more the norm
The storm was minor here, which was a relief – our area is still recovering from the twin disasters only last year of Irene and Lee. Frankly, another similar disaster so soon after the storm would have been possibly beyond recovery for many of the worst hit towns around here. We prepped (like mad at my house, since I didn't get home from Boston until Sunday evening), moving wood in, getting our water stocks high (no power = no running water here, although we can haul from the cistern), and making sure everything and everyone was clean (I want to go into an extended power outage with clean hair, clean children, no dishes and no laundry – these seem trivial but they are big quality of life issues).
We also had some other preps to do – the kids' big worry was what would happen if they couldn't trick or treat with their friends, so we made plans for host a power-out spooky Halloween party at our house for the kids in our neighborhood if we couldn't get out (otherwise kids mostly go to other neighborhoods, since our rural area is terrible for trick or treating – too few houses, no sidewalks, dark streets, etc…). Asher's 7th birthday arrived with the storm on Monday, and we celebrated with board games, jack-o-lantern carving and a family dance party. His birthday gift, his own shofar (a traditional Jewish wind instrument made from an animal horn that makes a really loud noise, and yes, that's what he wanted!) prompted me to say "Ok, yes, it is a hurricane, but you still have to blow it OUTSIDE" which goes in the parental lexicon along with "I'd really prefer you hit each other somewhere else" and "No, you may not bury your brother in the lego bin."
All this is lighthearted, but as we all know, the storm was not a light matter for many people. We are still waiting to hear about some of Eric's extended family in the worst storm-affected areas, particular distant relatives in Queens. Phil-the-Housemate will be headed downstate with the relief effort this weekend, taking my spare stash of baby formula to shelters in need. The number of deaths and losses is appalling.
As is always the case, there are always those who prepared and didn't need their preparations, and those who didn't prepare and did. People take different lessons from these experiences. Already, and only a year after Irene and Lee destroyed whole communities in my region, I hear people saying "Well, everyone was off school and nothing happened, it was overstated, people shouldn't over-react next time." The correct reaction, of course is "we were damned lucky and chose the right course in preparing" but it is human nature to resent additional effort. Indeed, a friend who is an emergency planner for New York city tells me that it was harder this time to make some of the preparations in the city precisely because New York was largely spared in Irene last year – everyone remembered that last time the bridges and subways were closed for no reason, and he suggested this is probably why they waited so long to close the bridges.
As climate change alters the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, we are going to have to change our basic response, which is often to minimize and deny. and avoid the inconvenience of preparation. As my colleague at Class M points out "Think about that. Storms that used to occur every 100 years can be expected between 5 and 33 times as often." If once a real disaster came one time in twenty, now we are talking about one in three or five or seven.
I've written many times about why it is we are so reluctant to prepare and use the precautionary principle. In many cases, I think it is because our sense is that preparing for disaster might bring it upon us, in others because we've had an experience where effort was wasted. But such efforts are NOT wasted – preparing once, even if the disaster doesn't strike, gives you the experience of preparation – next time you will know what to do and do it more easily – if only you can take the right lesson from this. The odds are good that next time, or the time after that or the one after that, you'll be sorry if you aren't prepared.
The message of "I prepared and nothing happened" is not "I wasted my time and resources" as our culture so often tells us. Instead, it is "I was ready. I was ready to care for myself, ready to step up and aid others. I did all I could to avoid being a victim and thus endangering others (rescue workers) and placing demands on what could have been a strapped emergency system. I stepped up, so that those who cannot step up due to poverty, lack of a home, disability, age, ill-health can be protected."
If you were in Sandy's path and are struggling now, I wish you much aid, a quick recovery and good hope. If you prepared and nothing happened, be proud of yourself, and remember, someday something will happen – few lifetimes pass without something happening. Preparation is not wasted effort, it should be a point of pride.

Creating videos and using them with students in the classroom is an important skill of the 21st century teacher. Some educators wrongly think that making a video requires software download and advanced video editing skills, a claim which has been rebutted by web 2.0 technologies. There are now several online and web-based tools where one can easily and simply create a video and share it with others. These tools do not need any software installation and , most of the time, needs only a quick and free sign up.

Can we agree that romcoms in all their traditional, predictable glory are sort of becoming a thing of the past? And that maybe it's actually a good thing?
I'd say the old cookie-cutter boy-meets-girl storyline has undergone a few makeovers in the past decade or so and tried on some different looks — say, indie-esque (Garden State, 500 Days of Summer), irreverent (Knocked Up, Easy A) and genuinely almost great (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), but the formula's mostly stayed the same, and it seems fewer and fewer are being made. At least, the tropes that acted as a common thread among them for so many decades feel like they're (maybe?) fading and making way (I hope, anyway) for better, more real variations on the theme. I mean, I know zilch about movie making and have zero credibility when it comes to predicting film trends, but as a plain old movie-watching, critically-thinking citizen, I can admit to my former love of the genre as I look some of its greater offenders square in the face today with clarity of vision and ask them loudly, "WHAT THE HELL??"
So I wrote a piece for The Hairpin, a brilliant website beloved by literary-leaning folks primarily of the female variety, about my reaction to Sleepless in Seattle when I watched it again last month, more than 20 years after I fell in love with it at first sight. (And I mean LOVE love. Bridget-Jones-and-Mark-Darcy-after-the-blue-string-soup, Harry-and-Sally-on-New-Year's, Mila-and-JT-during-the-Closing-Time-Flash-Mob-at-Grand-Central-Station-in-Friends-with-Benefits level love.) With all due respect to the very talented Ephron sisters, let's just say my affections for the film have dimmed in the time it's taken me to grow from a myopic 17-year-old into an (only slightly less myopic) adult. Ohhh, hindsight. Why you gotta be so smug?
Honestly, I'll always love bits and pieces of that old Tom-and-Meg situation… but I confess those sorts of movies might have messed me up a bit in the lurve department, at least when I was younger. I'm more than a little mortified that I lapped up all those messages and internalized them for as long as I did. Give the essay a read, if you'd like, and feel free to tell me how crazy you think I am on a scale of one to Annie Reed.

This raised seam creates a decorative accent.
1. Work the Shoulder Seam Graft, the Mattress Stitch Seam, or the Mattress Stitch/Graft Combo with the wrong sides of the pieces facing you. The edge stitches (or bound-off edges) will roll to the right sides.
2. For added embellishment, use a contrasting colored yarn to whipstitch along the raised seam on the right side.

Ruffalo Will be a More 'Laid Back Hulk'
The Hulk that Eric Bana and Edward Norton portrayed was kind of a dick. Ruffalo's Hulk will totally be more chill.
New Catchphrase!
Instead of "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" Ruffalo improv'd and improved the line to "You wouldn't like me when my mell is harshed, bro." Ruffalo's Hulk doesn't so much get angry but he does like get kind of bummed when the waiter forgets to put the salad dressing on the side.
Duh, New Costume.
Ripped shorts, shirt in tatters? Nah yo, just a big ole' pair of sweatpants. More practical, more comfortable.
Green is lame. Ruffalo's Hulk is pretty tan with a little bit of stubble and a meticulously tousled head of hair.
Green. (Cont'd)
But speaking of green, Ruffalo's Bruce Banner will be smoking that sticky icky and 'laxin into chill mode, so The Hulk won't show up too often... unless Bruce's dispensary is closed that is.
